Kelvin 2,200 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I was there about 10 years ago for 3 weeks for uni. Heaps of ST by the boat ramp. Plenty of gar around but mostly small. Few small tommies. Heaps of trumpeter, lots of KGW but mostly undersized. Heard of rat kings but didn't see any. Got a big eagle ray on a bottom bait.

Mickyj 3,205 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I was there last year didnt get a touch saw something try to take my lure watched my fishing buddy land a KG on bait and had a huge squid try to take a lure apart from that nothing it was a bit of a drive and then a walk along a railway line then down a steep cliff Brooker4.1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scissors 308 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 It is pretty average, if you go for a little drive you can get to a few spots that hold a few fish. You will probably get Tommies and Garfish if you berley up off the wharf....a rat kingy will come through evenutally. The tackle shop there is pretty good, they will know what the go is.

Wading da flats 17 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I would head down to the shacks and hit the shallows for flat head and yellowfin whiting go at low tide and rake for some crabs. You will get sweet fa at the wharf or train bridge unless a school of kingies is up there . The shacks are the only place I'd try LB .. I grew up there and still head to see the folks as they live at the shack and always get a feed of yellowfin Poppa Snake and Brooker4.1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brankim 945 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Saw a fishing show ages ago with guys catching good size kings in the canals, either from the power station or near on big hardboddies in knee-waist deep water. Always wanted to go try one day, not sure if it's still publicly accessible though.... Not sure what time of the year either, but they were making it look easy!!

Wading da flats 17 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Kingies are there all year round brankim but a rule of thumb I was taught by an old pro is the big boys fire when the almond trees begin to blossom! Brooker4.1 and Brankim 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
